Mission to Cambodia 2014
from Mary Lynn Ware, Nursing student
We ate breakfast at the hotel in Siem Reap before hitting the bumpy road for Battambang. When the bus arrived to pick us up we piled in and sprawled out thinking the whole bus was all ours- how American of us! We then stopped by the bus station to pick up the Cambodian bus patrons. After a 5 hour bumpy, wobbly ride, we arrived in Battambang! As we walked off the bus, all the tuk-tuk drivers swarmed around us looking to get business. It was immediately clear that this city was much smaller and less Westernized than Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
